[The Doctor is back around! Well, more or less. He technically didn't leave, he's just been avoiding the Plane entirely. He would rather still be away but lately he prefers sitting somewhere away from the TARDIS while he does his work. It’s more relaxing to take a stroll through space.

Speaking of work, he’s completely engrossed in a data pad. He’s scrolling through it with a stylus, occasionally stopping to click something or read longer. Once or twice, his reading is accompanied by a small holographic projection of various planets above the screen.

He’s taken to walking around the empty space, mostly following the arms of a spiral galaxy. Get his attention if you want him!]

Oh, as well as can be hoped for. Better, actually. I have a few advantages.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good, the universe is unlikely to be destroyed then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I hope so. Though if it was, I wonder what would happen here. That bomb is supposed to spread through the multiverses. But I can't imagine all of them being destroyed. It's an attack on infinity.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...That's a bit ambitious isn't it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I guess "destroying the universe" just doesn't sound impressive enough these days.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Destroying the world seemed perfectly reasonable in my childhood.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, once upon a time it was good enough. Those were the days.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

It wasn't good but at least it was vaguely possible.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I suppose that was your childhood dream?

[Have a giggling fit]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Somewhat confused.]

I'm hoping that's a good laughing.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Smile] I've never really wanted to take over anywhere.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.] Good. Not that it isn't a common childhood goal. Says more about children than anything else, I think.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I've met one or two who have wanted to take over the universe I must admit, children are prone to thinking big.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, they certainly are. One of the brilliant things about being a child, isn't it? All that imagination and creativity.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Smile] All that life, it's wonderful to be a child.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Mm, it has its bad side but it's certainly not terrible. I'm the Doctor, by the way. Nice to meet you.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Well, everything does.

I'm Brigitta, nice to meet you too.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Quite right, so it's best to remember the positives. Lovely name, Brigitta. I don't think I've seen you before. Mind you, I've been a bit busy, so that may be why.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Always look on the bright side of life.

Thanks, it's not so common these days... I think I've seen you, though apparently there are many different versions of you so... Yeah.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.] That's a song, for the record.

But nothing to worry about. I'm getting used to that. There's...let's see, technically another me, a human me and a human who is unrelated, possibly more lurking, difficult to say. That's not including the other Doctors, too.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Grin] I think I've heard of it.

...And you don't get confused by all that?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

It was - is? - well, it's popular.

And nah, not really. Oh, sometimes it's a bit difficult, when people confuse us or some such. But that's really just confusion for everyone else, not for me.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

My friend keeps singing it.

How often do people confuse you with the others?
